Gangs of Wasseypur

Realistic drama of gang wars

Gore, revenge, rivalry- you name it, and the Gangs of Wasseypur have it. Yes, all forms of violence and the gang fights and bangs. The all-time versatile actor Manoj Bajpai has yet again proved his acting prowess with his character Sardar Khan. And the debutant actor Tigmanshu Dhulia in a role as a labourer Ramadhir Singh has done a commendable job. And what all you want from a dark movie like Gangs of Wasseypur when it’s directed by none other than auteur Anurag Kashyap of Dev D fame.
The plot revolves round the old time hatred and rivalry between two Muslim groups- Qureshis and Pathans regarding coal mining. The director has painted a picture of reality with the gang war based in the actual land of coal-Dhandbad; and the use of Bihari language just makes it finesse. However, too many characters in the movie would make the audience a bit confused. The theatre artist Piyush Mishra’s presence as the narrator of the story makes it more amazing. And the trademark vernacular abuses in Kashyap’s style are just fantabulous as in other movies of the director. The rustic dialogues and its delivery by these bunch of finest realistic actors is very much amazing and good to ears.
The folk like music by Sneha Khanwalkar keeps the drama alive. GV Prakash’s background score does the same magic and keeps it thrilling. Use of montage takes us back to history of coal war in Colonial India.
All in all, Gangs of Wasseypur is a must watch release of this month to get a peep into the Indian coalmine wars in a realistic approach drama.
